Stand for Atlas Lathe Change Gears

thingiverse

This is a stand for Atlas Lathe change gears. EDIT: January 14, 2019 -- added STL files for nuts. NOTE: the gear_stand.scad file is designed to be used with OpenSCAD. At the top of that file are several variable switches, including show_nut = 1. This variable can be set to 0 to hide or 1 to display the related part. Press F5 for a quick render, or F6 to save the final render to STL. Different printers have varying levels of accuracy, which can affect the mating of the threaded rod to the nut, resulting in either too tight or too loose of a fit. A variable called thread_tolerance = 0.45; works well with my printer, but others may need to adjust this value experimentally to achieve a better fit.
